Genome Sequencing

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is the sequencing of all DNA present in the genome of an organism, including chromosomal DNA, mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA if in plants. Two types of WGS approaches are available that mainly differ in their dependency on a reference genome sequence.
